Hello everyone reader.

I am not new scripter, usually i use some of the symbols and i know what they mean but now i want to know something more about them, actualy about what they are doing or meaning of them. Some of these i know, but anywhay i will ask. This should be useful for newbies too..

Symbols:

&& :
& :

pawn Код:

//for example usage in:
if(function1 & function 2)
//any differences between this?
if(function1 && function2)

< :
<< :
>> :
> :
| : (if this exists)
|| :
* :
- :
-- :
= :
== :
+ :
++ :
% :
>= :
<= :
-= :
+= :

If there is anything else then just write it under my list, write the meaning of that symbol and how it works (you can make some script example and describe it)

[woot]

Are you asking what they are or are you doing a tutorial? lol

[Thebest96]

LOL, i dont understand anithing

[LarzI]

He wants someone to explain and show examples with all those operators, I believe.
Look up the Pawn Language PDF, all information is stated in there.

These symbols (or at least some of them) are related to general math/algebra.

Symbols:

&& : - This means and, in terms of PAWN, you could do 2 functions in 1 if statement. Example is below.

pawn Код:

if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid) && IsPlayerAdmin(playerid))

& : This I do not really know yet, but I do know a way you could use it. Example is below.

pawn Код:

if(newkeys & KEY_FIRE)

< : Less then, 1 < 5 - 1 is less then 5.

pawn Код:

if(PlayerInfo[playerid][Money] < GetPlayerMoney(playerid)) - //If their money is less then their client side money.

<< : I do not know yet.

>> : I do not know yet.

> : Greater then, 5 > 1 - 5 is greater then 1.

pawn Код:

if(GetPlayerMoney(playerid) > PlayerInfo[playerid][Money]) - //If their client side money is larger then their var money.

| : I do not know yet.

|| : This is like &&, but this is "or". You can use this for many things, such as strcmp.

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(cmd, "/help", true) || !strcmp(cmd, "/h", true)) - //Comparing if they used /h or /help.

* : This is a math symbol, multiplication.

pawn Код:

75 * 3 - //Same thing as 75 x 3

- : This is a math symbol, subtraction. But this is used inside a function.

pawn Код:

300.0 - 250.0

-- : This is used to downgrade or subtract a variable.

pawn Код:

CountDown--;

= : This is a math symbol, basically equal to. It is used to assign a value to a var or array, etc.

pawn Код:

new Float:Health = 3000.0

== : This is a math symbol, similar to the equal sign, but instead, this is used to compare two functions/vars/arrays/etc.

pawn Код:

if(playerid == INVALID_PLAYER_ID) // This is used in a PM cmd, to see if they typed a invalid playerid.

+ : This is like subtraction, except, it is addition, you use it inside a function, to add numbers or variables/values.

pawn Код:

50.0 + 300.0

++ : This is like the subtraction sign for vars, but this is addition.

pawn Код:

CountDown++; //Will count upwards.

% : This is used to format a specifier, inside a format.

pawn Код:

%d - Whole Intenger | %s - string | %f - Float | %c - Single Character and more (search wiki)

>= : This is using the greater then, but also like assigning a var. This can be used to see a player's admin level in a if statement.

pawn Код:

if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] >= 4) // This will check if the person's level is 4 or higher.

<= : This is using the less then, but also like assigning a var. This can be used to see a player's admin level in a if statement.

pawn Код:

if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] <= 4) // This will check if the person's level is 4 or lower.

-= : This is like the subtraction sign, except used for vars/arrays/enums etc.

pawn Код:

PlayerInfo[playerid][Money] -= amount;

+= : This is like the addition sign, except used for vars/arrays/enums etc.

pawn Код:

PlayerInfo[palyerid][Money] += amount;

Hope this helped.

****** will look in.


Ahm,

I didn`t know only

<<
>>
&
symbols, everything else i know, dont blame me.

[Toni]

should have said that took me like 10 minutes of my wasted life D:

To quate : WTF. Really? Read some topics, i even wrote how & is used with keys.. and what it does... and it was recently.

I can teach some usages of them whenever i have time, PM me, for example, i'm totaly sure that binary shift << is tons of times faster than float multiplication (* in pawno) num<<1 =num*2; num<<2 =num*4 num>>1=num/2 num>>2=num/4; (Rounds down always, as actually just loses the byte);

I'm not stupid, and maybe I haven't seen those topics.

It's funny how people criticize other people if they don't know it, or don't know it correctly.

Also, pointing out to what ****** said, * is not a float multiplication, but a normal multiplication, that you can do with many values.

Thanks for the examples though, I do see what you mean.

Edit:
@ ******, I am a little confused on 'sleep'.
From the .pdf :
sleep expression

Abort the program, but leave it in a re-startable state. The expression
is optional. If included, the sleep instruction returns the
expression value (plus the expression tag) to the host application.
The significance and purpose of exit codes/tags is implementation
defined; typically, an application uses the sleep instruction to allow
for light-weight multi-tasking of several concurrent pawn programs,
or to implement “latent” functions.

I know that sleep only works in main and main is an extra task which is executed next to the script

I would like to know in what unit of time the expression should be (I suppose ms) and what happens without expression
